All LinkedIn image dimensions — personal profile, company page, posts, banners, articles, and carousels.
Using the correct LinkedIn image dimensions ensures crisp display across all devices and prevents automatic cropping of your professional content.

Your LinkedIn profile picture is one of the first things recruiters, clients, and connections see. Upload at 400×400 px minimum — larger is better (up to 8 MB). Use a professional headshot with a clean background, good lighting, and clear eye contact. LinkedIn's own research shows profiles with professional photos get 21× more views and 36× more messages than those without photos.
The personal background banner (1584×396 px at 4:1) appears behind your profile picture and is seen by everyone who visits your profile. Yet most users leave the default blue gradient. Use this space to communicate your role, expertise, or company affiliation. Add subtle branding, a key achievement, or a professional environment photo. Keep important content centered — side edges may be cropped on mobile.
Your LinkedIn company logo (300×300 px) appears in a lot more places than just your company page — it shows in job postings, employees' experience sections, search results, and the feeds of your followers. Use a square version of your logo with clear padding. Avoid placing the logo in corners or using a very small logo on a large background — it will be tiny at display sizes.
LinkedIn carousel posts (uploaded as PDF documents) consistently outperform single images for engagement and reach. Design each page at 1080×1080 px (square) for the best feed display. Use bold headers, a clear narrative structure, and a call-to-action on the final slide. Keep text large and readable — LinkedIn renders document carousels at a reduced size in the feed.
The standard LinkedIn feed post image displays at 1200×627 px (1.91:1 landscape). This format shows a large preview in the feed without being cut off. Square images (1080×1080 px) are also fully supported and take up more vertical space. Avoid portrait-orientation images — LinkedIn crops them in the feed preview, which can hide important content.
